With an open bar and sometimes lunch, boat trips are
always popular and usually fun, if bawdy humor is your bag.
Most depart from the Pier One complex downtown and
sail around the bay to the airport reefs, with a stop for
snorkeling.
Best of the bunch are Calico, the only wooden sailing
ship in town (phone 876/952-5860; 3hr daytime cruise, US$35;
2hr evening cruise, US$25) and Tropical Dreamer (phone
876/979-0102; 3hr cruises; US$45), a catamaran that offers a
wet 'n' wild cruise party including a stop at
Margaritaville to ride the water slide; tours leave at
10am and 1pm Monday to Saturday.
Glass-bottom boats
operate from all the main beaches and sail out to the
airport reefs for around US$15 for half an hour. MoBay
Undersea Tours (phone 876/940-4465; 2hr; US$34) has
semi-submersible vessels that take you ten feet underwater.
Tours leave at 11.30am and 1.30pm from Margaritaville.
If you'd rather go it alone, you can rent out the Sharky,
a semi-sub that holds fourteen passengers, for US$300 per
hour.

Stoshus, a 36ft yacht (US$120 per hour, US$600 per
day).
